Baby is 1 yr old. We've been sleep training for 2 weeks, gentle removing stages of comfort every few days and it seemed to be working wonderfully - baby was waking up a couple of times but easily went back to sleep, sometimes 8-9 hours sleep unbroken. Now we are at the remove the hand when they calm down stage, this coincided with the clock change plus a weekend out of routine due to a family event. Now he just won't settle. last night he woke up at 12.30 and didn't go to sleep until 3.30, then he wakes up at 5 and doesn't go back to sleep he just cries and cries, even with my hand on him (in desperation). I can tell he wants to be asleep but can't get there. it's been like this for 3 nights and I don't know what to do my husband and I are exhausted and I feel totally overwhelmed. It feels wrong to me. I want to just stop butI don't really know how as we were cosleeping before and now he's in his own cot. We haven't been picking him up. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed and tearful I guess because I am so tired. I stopped overnight feeds, I'm just not sure how to get him to sleep now if I stop and whether that will make his sleep worse. I wish I could go back to last week when he seemed so happy to go to sleep.

Lo sounding overtired. My lo does that when she's overtired. I give a little extra sleep in day. How are naps in day?? What's whole routine ??

Lo isn't cold ??

Also I think there is a combined of sleep regression at 12 months old.
